Hornet's are something not to mess with either. I stepped in a nest of them some years back and they stopped counting after 34 stings. The smart thing I did was take some Benadryl and took a cold shower to pull all the stingers out. Rushed to urgency clinic by my DH and they wanted to put me in the hospital. I had several shots of steroids and refused going to the hospital. I now carry an Epi pen and have been in the process of getting this past year of shot as one sting can kill me. With that stated just be careful of any hornet or bee. The Murder Hornets have been found in forests so far.

I carry a epi pen ( kinda spendy but worth it) for the same reasons. Except I ran over a yellow jacket nest on my tractor. They all came out swinging , wow 😯 I tried to out run them on a tractor.. nope… so I had to literally tear all my cloth off in the garage … they were relentless. First time I was ever stung and I looked like the pillsbury dough boy the next day.. I can't imagine what the sting would be like from a giant hornet .
Most giant hornets have been seen and captured in southwestern Washington and northwestern Oregon. They attack bee hives kill all the bees by beheading them and steel the bee hives for their young. Really creepy. The bees have found a way to fight back , they kill the giant hornets with heat.
